(~) FAITH IS.. |
(~) FAITH IS...
.... reliance on the certainty that God has a pattern for my life when
everything seems meaningless
.... remembering I am God's priceless treasure when I feel utterly useless
.... depending on the fact that God is Love - not on my ability to figure out
the why's in the midst of smashed hopes, reversal, and tragedy
.... keeping on when I am dog tired, discouraged, disillusioned, deserted, dusty
and dry and I cast on His strength alone
.... realizing that I am useful to God, not in spite of my scars, but because of
them
.... confidence that God is acting for my highest good when He answers "No" to
my prayers
.... accepting the truth that, in spite of the wreckage and grief I've caused,
God who has wiped the slate clean and delights in me
.... recognizing that God is the Lord of time when my idea of timing doesn't
agree with his
.... not a vague hope of a happy here after but an assurance of Heaven based on
my trust in Christ's death as payment for my sins
.... remembering that, though my way is dark as night to me, God can see and
guides me unerringly
.... doing the right thing regardless of the consequences knowing God will turn
the ultimate effect to good
.... the conviction the Promiser keeps His promises.
